Great all round performer. Used mine now for 11 years in my pickup truck with the Atas 120A Screwdriver antenna. Covers all bands.. perfect VSWR. Beware of the dreaded zebra stripes appearing on the display screen.. The OEM replacement parts are like hens teeth.. Been waiting 6 months now for a new display from Yaesu Japan..
Great radio I have the ldg auto tuner and a atas 120a antenna for going portable. There’s a diagram on the bottom of the rig shows what the slots are for on the rear of the rig. Thanks for the vlog
Hello mate i got one off ebay boxed for 300.00 and the then got the filters and txo i was told it was deaf all seemed to work,but i changed the toko filters out anyway jeff
The real question is current draw. If the 857D draws a bunch of current (on receive) then it means you can't use it as long in the field as the 817/818
Good video, one question: would yoy reel us what is the difference between the FT-857 and 857D?, I'm about to buy one but Don't want to be scammed. Thank
I thought the uk version of this radio only put out 50w? i noticed 2 diff types of connection in the back for uhf/vhf and hf antenna connection, why are they different looks like a scratch on the lcd sreen. does the radio do average power or is it like the ft991a when you put it at 50w it shows 50w.
I am looking for your products place lace me a message. When I post this, I am looking for more information on this. Where can I find one in how much they run I hope I hear back from you soon cuz, I'm still looking for the new one or the old one
I got my 857d in 2018 for 2 meter ,430 ssb portable work.
Used a 10 element yagi and 200 watt amplifier. Much fun! 😊
The Shack in the Box choices we had back then were so good looks like you have a nice set up .
Great video! This is the one radio I wish I had never sold. If only they had put 2m/70cm in the FT-891
I agree with you

Hi Many thanks
Great video, i just ordered one from japan today. Looks like a nice little rig.
One of the best ever shack in box.
Be advised if you in the USA Japan models won’t tx on USA bands & the power levels are different a mars mod will not fix this
Make sure you have 100 watts ssb! They make a 25 watt 857 also.😢
I was disappointed that it has been discontinued!!!
Yes nice set .
PH | SP changes speaker jack output level for head-PH-ones or SP-eaker.
Thanks Brian its an ace Radio.

Hi I think its older yes great Radio .
The real question is current draw. If the 857D draws a bunch of current (on receive) then it means you can't use it as long in the field as the 817/818
Totally agree i will do a video showing current draw.
ruclips.net/video/o7OzBrod9NM/видео.html
Yes a little more current draw so someone can hear me on ssb.😮😅😊
Love how it powered up on 27 MHz CB, LOL
Lol that's how it came
It’s been used on CB. Widebanded oh dear.
@@adamap2796 is that a good thing or bad thing ?
@@benrobinson6345 no idea, next question.?

Hi as far as i lnow D stands for dsp.
only buy the D. It is an improvement on the original you want for sure.
hHe only 857D's that is see are coming from Japan.
What are the differences and could you do a MARS mod to fix any issues?
Depends what u think needs fixing ?
